NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL: THEN GO FORTH TO PREACH – TEACH – AND MINISTER THE GOSPEL TO ALL! 

Are you ASHAMED or EMBOLDENED to PREACH, TEACH AND MINISTER the GOSPEL to the unreached, untouched and unsaved within your family, community and environment? Do you know the cost of a soul? 

“. . .. They that TRUST in their WEALTH and BOAST themselves in the multitude of their RICHES; 7 none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother, nor GIVE to God a ransom for him, 8 (for the REDEMPTION of their soul is PRECIOUS, and it ceaseth forever:) 9 that he should still LIVE forever, and not see corruption . . . ” Psalms 49:1-20 Amplified. 

The cost of a soul is not qualified or quantified by any de facto CURRENCY in humanity, and nothing on earth can amount to the cost of that soul near you who might need the GOSPEL while you yet pass by as if it doesn’t matter.  

There’s NO contention, controversy, prejudice or dissimulation [HYPOCRISY] in the GOSPEL – and that’s what makes it unique among all in making a difference in all. For the GOSPEL is not a doctrine to be taught. It is the enabling power of God that gives HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that everyone needs to do life and live godly by God in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“For I am not ashamed of THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to everyone that believeth; to THE JEW first, and also to THE GREEK. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17. 

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of GODLINESS: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, JUSTIFIED in the Spirit, SEEN of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16. 

Ensure your day-to-day life by the Gospel. It’s the hallmark of a purpose-driven life with God, to live a meaningful and fulfilling life in the grace.  

SELAH – PAUSE THINK!  

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For I am not ashamed of THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION to every one that believeth; to THE JEW first, and also to THE GREEK. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith” Romans 1:16-17. 

“For THE PREACHING of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is THE POWER of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy THE WISDOM of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish THE WISDOM of this world? 21 For after that in THE WISDOM of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of PREACHING to save them that believe. 22 For THE JEWS require a sign, and THE GREEKS seek after wisdom: 23 but we PREACH Christ crucified, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:18-24. 

“Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED Christ unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING and seeing the miracles which he did. 7. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were HEALED. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that city” Acts 8:4-8. 

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you THE GOSPEL which I PREACHED unto you, which also ye have RECEIVED, and wherein ye STAND; 2 by which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED in vain. 3 For I DELIVERED unto you first of all that which I also RECEIVED, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye BELIEVED” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. 

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING the gospel of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people” Matthew 9:35. 

“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to PREACH THE GOSPEL to the poor; he hath sent me to HEAL the brokenhearted, to PREACH deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 to PREACH the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this SCRIPTURE fulfilled in your ears. 22 And all bare him WITNESS, and wondered at the GRACIOUS WORDS which proceeded out of his MOUTH. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son?” Luke 4:16-22. 

“Even as Abraham believed God, and it was ACCOUNTED to him for righteousness. 7. Know ye therefore that they which ARE of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the heathen through faith, PREACHED before THE GOSPEL unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. 9 So then they which be of faith ARE blessed with faithful Abraham” Galatians 3:6-9. 

SUMMARY: 

The message talks about NOT BEING ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL, and the urgent mandate to PREACH, TEACH, and MINISTER it to ALL souls without prejudice – from your family to the unreached around you. 

Key Points: 

  1. Boldness Over Shame 
    The message confronts every believer: Are you ASHAMED or EMBOLDENED? We are charged to go forth without fear because the Gospel is God’s power, not a cause for shame. 
    Scripture: Romans 1:16-17 – “For I am not ashamed of THE GOSPEL of Christ: for it is THE POWER of God unto SALVATION…”
  2. The Immeasurable Value of a Soul
    No wealth, riches, or human currency can redeem a soul. One soul near you is more costly than all earthly riches, yet we often pass by as if it doesn’t matter.
    Scripture: Psalm 49:7-8 – “none of them can by any means REDEEM his brother… for the REDEMPTION of their soul is PRECIOUS”
  3. The Nature & Power of the Gospel
    The Gospel carries NO contention, prejudice, or hypocrisy. It is not just doctrine, but the enabling POWER of God that gives HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to live godly. It is the mystery of godliness made manifest in Christ.
    Scripture: 1 Timothy 3:16 – “without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of GODLINESS: God was MANIFEST in the flesh…”
  4. Biblical Pattern for Ministry
    Jesus preached in CITIES and VILLAGES with healing. Philip brought GREAT JOY to Samaria by preaching Christ. Paul declared and labored in the same Gospel. The pattern is clear: preach Christ crucified to Jew and Gentile alike.  

Scripture: Matthew 9:35; Acts 8:5-8; 1 Corinthians 1:23-24; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 

Call to Action: 
Ensure your day-to-day life by the Gospel. Be emboldened to PREACH, TEACH, and MINISTER it to the unreached, untouched, and unsaved within your family, community, and environment. Live a purpose-driven life with God, because the Gospel is still the power of God for salvation today.

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE

By Leave a Comment

OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: GOD’S SALVATION PLAN – THE DESERT LAND SHALL SERVE HIM! 

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS [DESERT PLACES] shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust” Psalms 72:9. 

“The WILDERNESS [DESERT PLACES] and the SOLITARY PLACE shall be GLAD for them; and the DESERT shall rejoice, and BLOSSOM as the rose . . .” Isaiah 35. 

IT’S AN AWAKENING MOMENT AGAIN – OUR REVIVAL TIME. SALVATION IS HERE AND STILL COMING. And assuredly and certainly – The DESERT, REMOTE NATIONS SHALL SERVE THE LORD GOD – because the eternal Blood of Jesus Christ, which ATONES for all human Salvation, is speaking in God’s REDEMPTION plan and BLESSEDNESS, and it belongs to them too. 

Our God is interested in both the CITY CHURCH as well as the DESERT [VILLAGE and RURAL – CHURCHES] too. Hence He’s awakening all on these anchor legs toward His coming. God’s SALVATION plan is the same for all in His HEAVENLY MANDATE commission. In advancing the kingdom cause of God and in keeping the enemy at bay, all must be included irrespective of status, colour, race, gender, and geographical location. 

And I am emboldened to say that despite what’s going on in the world today, surely and certainly, the SALVATION of our God shall break forth into the DESERT PLACES as well as it is done in the CITY PLACES – for our God is not only the God of JEWS but also of the GENTILE World. And Gentile world means every other people beside the Jews. He’s the God of all – for in Him we all LIVE, MOVE, and HAVE our being. [Acts 17:24-31; Job 32:8; Job 33:4; Romans 10:11-13; 1 Corinthians 10:32-33; Colossians 3:10-11; 1 Corinthians 1:21-24; Romans 1:16-17; Acts 20:20-21; Galatians 3:25-29]. 

Be it known that, no matter the confusion in the world today, God has an end plan in it, for the liberation of human lives without drones, guns and bombs; and it also goes beyond humanitarian aid and relief in times and terms of preventing POVERTY and curing SICKNESSES and DISEASES in places including the DESERT landscape as we see events unfolding day by day. 

Be it known also, as an awakening or reminder, that the end of man is just the beginning of our God. Surely and certainly, His REDEMPTION plan in His BLESSEDNESS is coming to pass. If you believe, say AMEN with me in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, ARISE, and GO toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST WITH ALL THINE HEART, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40. 

The experience of Evangelist Philip in Acts 8, to be used of God in Samaria to establish a CITY CHURCH of multitudes and later on a DESERT CHURCH of one member, can only be possible with one who is following and in obedience – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE. How many today can make such decisions in their life, from the multitudes mandate to a single soul mandate? Hence, obeying the heavenly mandate will only be possible by God for the desert places to seek after Him too as in the city places. 

I pray that our God gives you the enabling wisdom in the knowing and understanding, that His global plan, purpose and pursuit, is unto the ends of the earth – from the cities to the desert places [wilderness – local, community, village], as long as there’s a soul there as Jesus did. 

“Then Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when He saw the MULTITUDES, He was moved with COMPASSION for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then He said to His disciples, “THE HARVEST TRULY IS PLENTIFUL, BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW. 38 Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” Matthew 9:35-38/NKJV. 

In matters of the kingdom mandate, there’s no place and room for sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation to any; for God’s kingdom mandate in Christ Jesus’ stead, is irrespective of geography, gender, tongue, people and such like. Wherever you have found yourself doing the kingdom mandate, be assured that our God will ensure His mission through you in the grace of Christ Jesus’ stead will come to fruition and fulfilment. Amen.  

Be BLESSED in God’s BLESSEDNESS in His mission mandate in the grace. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“They that DWELL in the WILDERNESS shall BOW before him; and his ENEMIES shall lick the dust” Psalms 72:9. 

“The WILDERNESS and the SOLITARY PLACE shall be GLAD for them; and the DESERT shall rejoice, and BLOSSOM as the rose . . .” Isaiah 35. 

“And this GOSPEL of the kingdom shall be PREACHED in ALL THE WORLD for a WITNESS unto ALL NATIONS; and then shall the END come” Matthew 24:14. 

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL of Christ: for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the JEW first, and also to the GREEK. 17 For therein is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God REVEALED from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Romans 1:16-17. 

“God that MADE the world and all things therein, seeing that he is LORD of HEAVEN and EARTH, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; 25 neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, SEEING HE GIVETH TO ALL LIFE, AND BREATH, AND ALL THINGS; 26 and hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; 27 that they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 for in him we LIVE, and MOVE, and HAVE OUR BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. 29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device . . .” Acts 17:24-31. 

“Therefore we conclude that a man is JUSTIFIED BY FAITH without the deeds of the law. 29 IS HE THE GOD OF THE JEWS ONLY? IS HE NOT ALSO OF THE GENTILES? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 seeing it is one God, which shall JUSTIFY the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith” Romans 3:28-30. 

“Give none offence, neither to THE JEWS, nor to THE GENTILES, nor to THE CHURCH OF GOD: 33 even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be SAVED” 1 Corinthians 10:32-33. 

“But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been BAPTIZED into Christ have put on Christ. 28 THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, THERE IS NEITHER BOND NOR FREE, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise” Galatians 3:25-29. 

“And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there is neither GREEK nor JEW, CIRCUMCISION nor UNCIRCUMCISION, BARBARIAN, SCYTHIAN, BOND NOR FREE: but Christ is ALL, and in ALL” Colossians 3:10-11. 

“For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the JEWS REQUIRE A SIGN, and the GREEKS SEEK AFTER WISDOM: 23 but we PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED, unto the JEWS a stumblingblock, and unto the GREEKS foolishness; 24 but unto them which are called, both JEWS and GREEKS, Christ THE POWER of God, and THE WISDOM of God” 1 Corinthians 1:21-24. 

“And how I KEPT BACK NOTHING that was PROFITABLE unto you, but have SHEWED you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, 21 testifying both to the JEWS, and also to the GREEKS, REPENTANCE TOWARD God, and FAITH TOWARD our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

“Then Philip went down to THE CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. 7. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY. . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, ARISE, and GO toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED unto him Jesus. 36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST WITH ALL THINE HEART, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40. 

SUMMARY: 

The whole message is a prophetic call to recognise that God’s salvation plan covers every place and every people — not just cities, but also deserts/wilderness areas. 

  1. Core Declaration
    We are in a season of awakening/revival. God’s salvation is active now and still coming. By the blood of Jesus, God’s covenant of redemption and blessing extends to “desert places” and “remote nations” just as much as to cities. 
  2. God’s Inclusive Mandate
    God’s plan is not partial. He cares for both CITY CHURCH and DESERT/VILLAGE/RURAL CHURCH. The Gospel mandate is for all: no matter city or wilderness, status, race, gender, or location. God’s redemptive plan includes all peoples — Jews and Gentiles alike — because in Him “we live, move, and have our being”. 
  3. Beyond Temporary Fixes
    God’s end-purpose goes deeper than politics, war, or aid. His plan brings true liberation from violence, poverty, sickness, and disease. Even the “desert places” will be touched. The end of human plans is where God’s plan begins. His redemption will come to pass. 
  4. Biblical Model: Philip in Acts 8
    Philip is used as the pattern: 
  • He preached in SAMARIA CITY → great joy, multitudes saved. 
  • Then he obeyed the Spirit into the DESERT ROAD → led one Ethiopian eunuch to salvation and baptism.   

The point: Obeying God’s mandate means being faithful to multitudes AND to one person. That kind of obedience only comes from God. If God can reach a desert road for one man, He can reach every desert place. 

  1. Prayer & Charge
    Prayer for wisdom to grasp God’s global purpose: from cities to villages/wilderness, wherever there’s a soul. The harvest is large everywhere; labourers are few. No room for bias, prejudice, or partiality in the Gospel. Wherever you are placed, God will fulfill His purpose through you by Christ’s grace. 
  2. Scriptural Foundation
    Loaded with Scripture to anchor it:
  • Psalm 72:8, Isa 35:1 – Deserts will bow and blossom before God. 
  • Matt 24:14 – Gospel to all nations, then the end. 
  • Acts 17:24-28 – God made all nations from one blood; in Him we live/move/be. 
  • Rom 1:16, Rom 3:29-30, Gal 3:28, Col 3:11 – No Jew/Gentile distinction in Christ; salvation for all. 
  • Acts 8 – Philip’s city + desert obedience. 
  1. Final Call
    Blessing is pronounced on all who join God’s mission by His grace. Reinforcing: God’s plan includes the desert, Jews + Gentiles, revival is here/coming. 

In one sentence: 
God is awakening His Church to obey the full Gospel mandate — taking salvation, healing, and deliverance to both crowded cities and forgotten deserts, for Jew and Gentile, because Jesus’ blood redeems every soul, everywhere.

MONTH JUNE – YOU ARE GOD’S – RULE AND REIGN 

By Leave a Comment

MONTH JUNE – YOU ARE GOD’S – RULE AND REIGN: YOU ARE REDEEMED AND COMMISSIONED! 

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become NEW. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has GIVEN us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then, WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5 :17-21. 

The born-of-God child of God, ascribed as the New Creation, is in a mission with God in Christ Jesus. For the New Creation is both redeemed by God and commissioned by God, with a mandate to fulfil in Christ Jesus’ stead. The contextual scripture of 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, indicates the New Creation is given the ministry of reconciliation with the WORD of reconciliation, and is commissioned thereby to carry the WORD of reconciliation by serving as an ambassador, God’s representative on earth in the earthly affairs for the heavenly. And to represent the heavenly in the earthly affairs he has to be equipped. That’s exactly what Jesus did for us in the redemption. 

And the redeemed and commissioned New Creation that’s born of God in Christ Jesus, has two major tasks as a minister with the ministry of reconciliation that’s given The WORD of reconciliation, representing the heavenly in the earthly affairs.  

These are the tasks: 

  1. REDEEMED [Born of God] to rule and reign over Poverty, Sickness and Spiritual Death [Revelation 1:4-6; Revelation 5:9-10; Galatians 3:6-9, 13-14, 26-29]. 

 

  1. COMMISSIONED [Empowered] to reign and rule over the Devil and cohorts works of darkness. [Luke 10:17-20]. 

The first task: when man sold his identity away to satan and cohorts, man died spiritually. And the consequences of that spiritual death resulted to poverty and sickness. For man’s treason of disobedience resulted in the CURSE of the fall. And resolving the curse of the fall brought about the law. And man’s inability to live up to the law brought the curse of the law. And in redemption, Jesus settled once for all lifetime, the bill for the curse of the law and the curse of the fall so that man can live in freedom again. Hence Apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians Church of it’s worth to avoid them returning back to such realm that redemption had settled as written. 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely liberating us]; therefore keep standing firm and do not be SUBJECT again to a YOKE of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1/Amplified. 

Now that we’ve been redeemed to freedom by being born of God as New Creation, and given the Ministry of reconciliation with the WORD of reconciliation, we’re commissioned to be God’s representative, an ambassador for Christ in the earthly affairs for the heavenly. But there’s a problem, which is, the redeemed and commissioned man must recognise what opportunity he lost in the first place to serve while in Eden, that he doesn’t repeat it. The first man was made “god” of the earth (under God), as his representative, an ambassador, but fell through identity crisis. He didn’t know who he was – then sold his commission-right away to the enemy and cohorts. While he was the first ever ambassador, he never knew the implications and today humanity is suffering and dying because of it while waiting for God’s reckoning judgement day. 

“I have said, Ye ARE gods; and all of you ARE children of the most High” Psalms 82:6. 

“For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be AS gods, knowing good and evil” Genesis 3:5. 

Identity crisis triggered the fall of the first upright human creation of God, and many today are still living in the same pedestal while in Christ Jesus – and you can visibly see it in how they pray, worship, and serve; and by the way they do life and live in godliness. Hence, there’s the struggle of identity and to identify with Jesus wholly and live freely in the grace, without being attached to the fleshly-ruled nature that leads to further bondages as referenced earlier in Genesis 3:5 and Galatians 5:1/Amplified. 

Our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ, while in humanity to showcase for our example what it takes to be Father God’s ambassador [representative] on the earth, have to deal severally with the religiosity and religious people – they thought they worshipped God but didn’t know WHO THEY WERE or their relationship with God. And they were so mad and almost killed Him before time for telling them who they ARE, as way to help them become God’s ambassador which they never had a clue about, yet they were willing to die for a cause but wrongly known and understood. 

“I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?” John 10:30-36. 

“I have said, Ye ARE gods; and all of you ARE children of the most High” Psalms 82:6. 

“For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be AS gods, knowing good and evil” Genesis 3:5. 

For its about us to fully sort out our identity nature with God as New Creation, peradventure we can then begin to actualise who we ARE in Christ Jesus, to make us an efficient and effective ambassador for Christ in the grace. [John 10:22-38; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 6:14-16].  You ARE Gods, representing the heavenly in the earthly affairs. For in Christ Jesus, we’re kings and priests unto God. And kings rule and reign. And as ambassadors with kingly and priestly mandate, we are either prepared to become what God says of us to fulfil His purpose or we sell off our citizenship again as Adam and Eve did, claiming we are born-again but no stand in the grace. 

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that LOVED us, and WASHED us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and hath MADE us KINGS and PRIESTS unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6. 

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast made us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“But you are a CHOSEN generation, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, a HOLY nation, His own SPECIAL people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 10 who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10. 

“Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit” Ephesians 2:19-22/NKJV. 

Step into June, affirming who you ARE. “YOU ARE GOD’S! TO REIGN AND RULE” in Christ Jesus stead. Knowing who you ARE in the grace and identifying yourself in it will cause you to volunteer to reign and rule in VICTORY, MORE THAN CONQUERORS, OVERCOMER and TRIUMPH in every place of doing live and living godly in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. But when you can’t affirm who you ARE and need someone else to do it, you are set to be sold out cheaply, abused, adulterated, and distorted with falsehoods and perversions instead of the TRUTH that sets free and gives freedom unlimited. You will know you have identity problems when you can’t choose between who you ARE to God in Christ Jesus, and what the devil says you will be AS to God, which negates you from who you ARE in redemption as in the Holy scriptures in context of our redemption. 

“Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye ARE gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture CANNOT be broken; 36 say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?” John 10:34-36. 

So, I ask you: Do you know who you ARE in God in Christ Jesus? Are you living and walking in that freedom of grace to reign and rule? Are you actualising who you ARE in the grace, or are you embattled with religiosity and religious people of traditionalism and denominationalism with their by-laws, creeds, and dogmas that makes God’s Word of no effect in your being? Are you in an identity struggle? Do you know who you are in the grace wherein you stand in Christ Jesus? These and many more are what we will deal with this month of June, to ensure your rights and privileges in redemption are no longer questionable by yourself, anyone else, or the enemy and his cohorts. 

You can stand up in the grace with head up, shoulders high, and on the high heels of faith in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. It’s time to volunteer and take your place as the redeemed and ambassador of God for Christ Jesus. For out of Zion, the Church, God will rule and reign over the enemy and cohorts of our faith. You are empowered of God in Christ Jesus to have dominion – not over people, but over the enemy and cohorts. Anything contrary to scripture indicates we do not know who we ARE as redeemed of God, representing the heavenly in our earthly affairs. 

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I GIVE unto you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the POWER of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” Luke 10:17-20. 

“The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool.” 2. The Lord shall send the ROD of Your strength out of Zion. RULE in the midst of your enemies! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS in the day of your POWER; in the BEAUTIES of holiness, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW of Your youth” Psalms 110:1-3/NKJV. 

Therefore, rise up in faith, by the grace, wherein you’ve been given the rights and privileges in redemption to explore, innovate, initiate, and create the atmosphere you love to behold – whereby you can reign and rule – for you ARE god in the earth, commissioned by God as an ambassador and representative of the heavenly for earthly affairs in Christ Jesus stead. [2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Ephesians 6:29; Proverbs 13:17]. 

I PRAY that as you think about the implications of the context scripturally and meditatively in the grace, you will discover yourself and then make your REALITY become what God’s word says about you and not what religion and religiosity show and indicate. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool.” 2. The Lord shall send the ROD of Your strength out of Zion. RULE in the midst of your enemies! 3 Your people shall be VOLUNTEERS in the day of your POWER; in the BEAUTIES of holiness, from the womb of the morning, you have the DEW of Your youth” Psalms 110:1-3/NKJV. 

“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. 18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. 19 Behold, I GIVE unto you POWER to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the POWER of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven” Luke 10:17-20. 

“And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him” John 10:22-38. 

“I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High” Psalms 82:6. 

“For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil” Genesis 3:5. 

“And they sung a NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God KINGS and PRIESTS: and we shall REIGN on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the FIRST BEGOTTEN OF THE DEAD, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 and hath MADE us KINGS and PRIESTS unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” Revelation 1:5-6. 

“But ye ARE a CHOSEN GENERATION, a ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, an HOLY NATION, a PECULIAR PEOPLE; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath CALLED you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 10 which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had NOT OBTAINED mercy, but now HAVE OBTAINED mercy” 1 Peter 2:9-10. 

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a NEW creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become NEW. 18 And all things ARE of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not IMPUTING their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION. 20 Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For He hath MADE Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be MADE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in Him” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21. 

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall REIGN in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace REIGN through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is talking about the restored identity and authority of the believer in Christ Jesus as a redeemed king, priest, and ambassador mandated to reign and rule in life. June is presented as the season to affirm this identity and execute the dominion mandate by grace. 

 KEY POINTS 

  1. FOUNDATIONAL TRUTH: WHOYOU ARE IN CHRIST 
  • You are a NEW CREATION in Christ – old things passed away; all things became new 2 Cor 5:17. 
  • You are REDEEMED by the blood of Jesus, washed from sin, made KINGS & PRIESTS Rev 1:5-6. 
  • You are a CHOSEN GENERATION, ROYAL PRIESTHOOD, HOLY NATION, SPECIAL PEOPLE 1 Pet 2:9. 
  • God declares: YOU ARE GODS, children of the Most High Psalm 82:6 – not “AS gods” like Adam’s deception Gen 3:5. 
  1. THE DIVINE COMMISSION
  • God reconciled us to Himself through Christ and GAVE us the MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION + THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION 2 Cor 5:18-19. 
  • Therefore, WE ARE AMBASSADORS for Christ 2 Cor 5:20 – authorised representatives of heaven in earthly affairs. 
  • Jesus empowered you: Luke 10:19 – “I GIVE you POWER over ALL the power of the enemy; nothing shall by any means hurt you.” 
  1. THE HINDRANCE: IDENTITY CRISIS
  • Adam lost dominion because he didn’t know WHO HE WAS, then sold his commission-right to Satan Gen 3:5. 
  • Many believers today are in the same struggle – can’t choose between God’s verdict vs devil’s verdict about them. 
  • Religiosity, traditionalism, denominational by-laws, creeds, dogmas make God’s Word of no effect John 10:34-36. 
  • Consequence of lost identity: Poverty, sickness, spiritual death, bondage to the curse of law/fall Gal 3:13. Gal 5:1 warns: Stand firm in FREEDOM, don’t return to yoke of slavery. 
  1. THE JUNE CHARGE: AFFIRM & VOLUNTEER
  • June declaring: “YOU ARE GOD’S! TO REIGN & RULE” in Christ Jesus. 
  • Knowing who you ARE in grace makes you volunteer in VICTORY, MORE THAN CONQUERORS, OVERCOMERS, TRIUMPH in every place of godly living. 
  • If you cannot affirm it, you’ll be sold out cheap, abused, adulterated, distorted by falsehoods instead of TRUTH that sets free. 
  • Stand up in grace: head up, shoulders high, on high heels of faith. Take your place as a redeemed ambassador. 
  1. THE TWO-FOLD MANDATE
  • REDEEMED MANDATE: Rule & reign over Poverty, Sickness, Spiritual Death. Jesus settled the curse of law and fall once for all. 
  • COMMISSIONED MANDATE: Rule & reign over the Devil and works of darkness. 
  1. FINAL IMPERATIVE
  • Out of Zion, the Church, God rules & reigns over enemies Psalm 110:2. His people are VOLUNTEERS on the day of His POWER Psalm 110:3. 
  • Rise in faith by grace. Use your rights in redemption to explore, innovate, initiate, and create the atmosphere you love. 
  • Meditate scripturally until your REALITY matches God’s Word, not religion/religiosity. 

Bottom line: No identity settled = no dominion exercised. Affirm WHO YOU ARE, then reign & rule.

SINGING THE SONGS OF TRIUMPH

By Leave a Comment

SINGING THE SONGS OF TRIUMPH: IT’S YOUR SONGS OF REDEMPTION! 

“And they SUNG A NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10 

May You Sing A New Song – In June. The Redeemed sang a new SONG – the New CREATION song. The SONG of TRIUMPH. No more SONGS of failure, sickness, disease, setbacks, frustrations, curses, defeat, oppression, unbelief and such likes. They rather SANG the SONGS of royalty and priesthood that they BECAME in Christ Jesus, affordable to all – every tribe, tongue, kindred and nations – colour and race. 

The Church is YOU, the TRIUMPHANT CHURCH, the NEW CREATION, God’s REDEEMED. By Christ Jesus’ Redemption, you live TRIUMPHANTLY – in every way and every place. No more LIMITS. You are DELIVERED and RESCUED from the POWER of DARKNESS and has been TRANSFERRED and TRANSLATED not REFURBISHED, into God’s OWN. YOU ARE GOD’S OWN. SING A NEW SONG. 

Moses and Miriam led the song of the glorious TRIUMPH out of Egypt’s bondage. They sang their Redemption songs with graciousness and gracefulness. They danced and celebrated their redemption. Why not YOU (today), born of God, filled with the Holy Spirit – which they (like Moses/Miriam) wished for earnestly – Hebrews 11:32-40. I guess they’d have danced daily and more. 

What sorts of SONGS are you into as a REDEEMED child of God. Is it the FEARFUL-HALLELUJAH songs, the COMPLAIN-HALLELUJAH songs, the TRANSFER-AGGRESSION songs, the UNFORGIVING and UNFORGETTABLE Songs, the REGRETTABLE songs, the SELF-AFFLICTED Songs, the FEAR-PHOBIAS songs, the songs filled up with CURSES, the BLAME-OTHERS songs, the VICTIM songs, the DEPRESSING songs, the NEVER-DO-WELL songs, the SELF-DEFEAT songs, the SELF-PITY songs, the RACE-CARD songs and other such likes songs.  

God wants YOU, the REDEEMED you, to know that it’s time to sing the REDEMPTION Songs of TRIUMPH in all your declarations, proclamations, announcements, confessions, professions and such likes. Songs from your lips now need to be that of the glorious TRIUMPH from the GRIPS and POWER of darkness into the realm of our dear Saviour and Lord, Christ Jesus. It’s time to ENACT and AUTHENTICATE your REDEMPTION DEED in Life and Godly Living. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING: 

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS CAUSETH us to TRIUMPH in Christ, and maketh manifest the SAVOUR of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14. 

“Who hath DELIVERED us from the POWER of darkness, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through his blood, even the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:13-14. 

“For He has RESCUED us and has DRAWN us to Himself from the DOMINION of darkness, and has TRANSFERRED us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption [because of His sacrifice, resulting in] the FORGIVENESS of our sins [and the CANCELLATION of sins’ penalty]” Colossians 1:13-14/Amplified. 

“And they SUNG A NEW SONG, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10. 

“And they SANG a NEW SONG [of GLORIOUS REDEMPTION], saying, “Worthy and deserving are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slain (sacrificed), and with Your blood You PURCHASED people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 “You have MADE them to be a kingdom [of royal subjects] and priests to our God; and they will reign on the earth” Revelation 5:9-10/Amplified. 

“Then SANG MOSES AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL THIS SONG UNTO THE LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. 

2 The Lord is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. 

3 The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name. 

  1. 4. Pharaoh’schariots and his host hath he cast into the sea: his chosen captains alsoare drowned in the Red  
  2. 5. Thedepths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone.

6 Thy right hand, O Lord, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. 

7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath, which consumed them as stubble. 

8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered together; the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths were congealed in the heart of the sea. 

9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw my sword, my hand shall destroy them. 

10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they sank as lead in the mighty waters. 

11 Who is like unto thee, O Lord, among the gods? who is like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders? 

12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, 

the earth swallowed them. 

13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation. 

14 The people shall hear, and be afraid: sorrow shall take hold on the inhabitants of Palestina. 

15 Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed; the mighty men of Moab, trembling shall take hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan shall melt away. 

16 Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by the greatness of thine arm they shall be as still as a stone; till thy people pass over, O Lord, till the people pass over, which thou hast purchased. 

17 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thine inheritance, in the place, O Lord, which thou hast made for thee to dwell in, in the Sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. 

18 The Lord shall reign for ever and ever. 

19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the Lord brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. 

20 And MIRIAM THE PROPHETESS, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; AND ALL THE WOMEN WENT OUT AFTER HER WITH TIMBRELS AND WITH DANCES. 21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath TRIUMPHED GLORIOUSLY; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea” Exodus 15:1-20.

“HAVE FAITH IN GOD” FOR YOUR RIGHT STANDING

By Leave a Comment

“HAVE FAITH IN GOD” FOR YOUR RIGHT STANDING: THIS IS TO HAVE FAITH IN GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS AND RIGHTEOUS CAUSE IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“He MADE Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God [that is, we would be MADE ACCEPTABLE to Him and PLACED in a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]” 2 Corinthians 5:21/Amplified. 

“For the KINGDOM of God is not eating and drinking, but RIGHTEOUSNESS and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who SERVES Christ in these things is ACCEPTABLE to God and APPROVED by men” Romans 14:17-18/NKJV. 

In the New Creation Testament context, RIGHTEOUSNESS means having a right stand and being acceptable before God, without shame, guilt, or condemnation, inferiority, doubtful disputing and such like in the grace, in Christ Jesus; and it’s the bestowed gift of God in the grace, made possible by salvation through REPENTANCE and JUSTIFICATION [declared righteous, discharged and acquitted). This righteousness gives us the enabling ACCESS to God in Christ Jesus stead. For anything contrary to God’s definition of righteousness, it’s a “filthy rags” righteousness (self-righteousness). For God’s righteousness and righteous cause, is the result of being a New Creation of God in Christ Jesus stead, nothing more and nothing else. And this act of God’s love to accept us into His Beloved, is empowered and being sustained by the Holy Spirit of righteousness. 

“Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God . . . 5 Now hope does not disappoint, because the LOVE of God has been POURED OUT IN OUR HEARTS by the Holy Spirit who was given to us” Romans 5:1-2, 5/NKJV. 

“Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, WITHOUT ANGER and DISPUTING or QUARRELING or DOUBT [in their mind]” 1 Timothy 2:8/Amplified. 

“How I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house, 21 testifying to Jews, and also to Greeks, REPENTANCE toward God and FAITH toward our Lord Jesus Christ” Acts 20:20-21. 

“But we are all like an unclean thing, AND ALL OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSES ARE LIKE FILTHY RAGS; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away” Isaiah 64:6/NKJV. 

It’s sad that religious and denominational divides exist due to misguided doctrinal teachings built on human structures, culture, tradition, etc. This creates sentiments, prejudice, delusion and dissimulation, which negating the foundation of Faith in Christ Jesus, which is freely given and available to all by Father God, for our RIGHTEOUSNESS and acts in the grace. God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS is by FAITH in Christ redemption, that justifies an individual personally in the grace; anything contractual should be discarded and vehemently rejected before it takes hold of you religiously and keeps you enslaved. 

“Brethren, my heart’s DESIRE and PRAYER to God for Israel is that they may be SAVED. 2 For I bear them WITNESS that they have a ZEAL for God, but NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they BEING IGNORANT OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and seeking to ESTABLISH their own righteousness, have not SUBMITTED to the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For Christ is the END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES. 5 For Moses writes about the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF FAITH speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or “‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, THE WORD OF FAITH which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE in your heart [spirit-being] that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto RIGHTEOUSNESS, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . .” Romans 10:1-13/NKJJV/Emphasis Mine. 

Not “HAVING FAITH IN GOD” leads to indifference, religious outcry, humanism, sectarianism and denominational bias in Christian faith. This made Apostle Paul outburst to Galatians and Romans Churches – thinking of the stupidity/foolishness born out of ignorance.  Many today are in blindfolded states, slavery, bondages due to unscriptural addictions from the TRUTH. 

“O foolish Galatians! Who has BEWITCHED you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by THE HEARING OF FAITH? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH?” Galatians 3:1-5. 

In the Bible days of the Apostles, many were unwilling to accept God’s definition of righteousness in Christ Jesus. They became legalistic by their own self-made righteousness or bound by their tradition and cultural norms. Apostle Paul was critical of this, calling it a “DIFFERENT GOSPEL” or “ANOTHER GOSPEL” of righteousness and righteous cause. 

The consequences are severe: It makes the WORD of God, of no effect (as Jesus told the Pharisees), and give room to schism, adulteration, and distortion of the truth; and unfortunately, the perpetuators not only mislead themselves and their followers, but also miss out on the transformation of their human hearts that comes from God’s goodness and grace. As a result, they remain self-centred and fleshly ruled, rather than being led by the Holy Spirit in Christ Jesus. And this non-acceptance of “HAVE FAITH IN GOD “and living by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS has led many astray. Causing them to live by their own strength rather than being Spirit-ruled [Holy Spirit led] of God, in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. 

“I marvel that you are TURNING AWAY so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a DIFFERENT GOSPEL, 7 which is not ANOTHER; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed” Galatians 1:6-9. 

“Making THE WORD of God of NO EFFECT through your TRADITION which you have handed down. And many such things you do” Mark 7:13 [Matthew 15:6]/NKJJV. 

“Some indeed preach Christ even from ENVY and STRIFE, and some also from GOODWILL: 16 The former preach Christ from SELFISH AMBITION, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of LOVE, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in PRETENSE or in TRUTH, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice” Philippians 1:15-18. 

Be it known that the individual or groups that are failing to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” in Christ Jesus stead for their righteousness have robbed themselves and others around them of the genuine blessedness of God in Christ Jesus. And many are entangled today with the adulteration and distortions of the truth by their sectarianism and denominational bias We ARE made righteous ONLY in Christ Jesus and not by the DO’S and DON’TS that we’ve used to cage people into a local assembly for our own selfishness, greed and enslavement. The freedom we’ve received of God in Christ Jesus stead, to serve and worship Him acceptably and worthily in His righteousness and righteous cause can be lost without faith in God’s definition. 

“It was for this FREEDOM that Christ set us free [completely LIBERATING us]; therefore keep STANDING FIRM and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery [which you once removed]” Galatians 5:1/Amplified. 

God made you righteous in Christ Jesus, and you need to intentionally live in the righteousness-consciousness and not in sin-consciousness anymore. And it’s for you to “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” – trusting His definition of RIGHTEOUSNESS in us, which ought to be lived in the grace in Christ Jesus stead. 

Beloved, our Father God, made us RIGHTEOUS, and to live in RIGHTEOUSNESS; and had made it possible in that He gave and embedded in us with a default setting of living in the righteousness-consciousness of Him, in Christ Jesus by the Holy Spirit of RIGHTEOUSNESS; and now we must live by being INTENTIONAL and PRAGMATIC about it, in order to ensure it always, in our daily living; otherwise one will give in to SIN and the SIN-CONSCIOUSNESS that contravenes the reality of our rights and privileges in redemption. 

“Now then we are AMBASSADORS for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 FOR HE HATH MADE HIM TO BE SIN FOR US, WHO KNEW NO SIN; that we might be MADE the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him” 2 Corinthians 5:20-21. 

“But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit [Holy Spirit] of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit [Holy Spirit] of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit [Holy Spirit] is life because of RIGHTEOUSNESS. 11 But if the Spirit [Holy Spirit] of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you” Romans 8:9-11/NKJV/Emphasis Mine. 

You are the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God MADE possible in Christ Jesus; therefore, live in it without alterations, adulteration, perversion and falsehood. For therein is the BEDROCK to thrive, to glory, to win, to triumph, to be victorious, to be an overcomer, and to be a more than conquerors in life and grace; also, to be dignified and fulfilled purposefully and meaningfully on the heavenly perspective for your earthly manifestations in God’s BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. For God by Christ Jesus has given us a righteous stand, upon which we can do life and live godly triumphantly to the fulness of our being. 

“But of Him are ye IN Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that GLORIETH, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. 

I want you to know by this writ, that anything else outside God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus for your conscience and consciousness is counterfeit, adulteration, delusional, perversion and falsehood in all areas of life ramifications and judgement in the light of God’s holy writ upon which we stand. And with SIN CONSCIOUSNESS, you will STAND before God to be scripturally charged as – guilty, shameful and with inferiority complex and prejudice and such like. While with RIGHTEOUSNESS CONSCIOUSNESS, you can take a STAND in grace to be without guilt, shame, inferiority complex, prejudice and such like, because you are taking a stand upon the deeds of Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

Beloved, it’s your new day, new dawn and a gracious time to raise your head up, shoulders high and on high heels of faith, in the CONSCIOUSNESS of being God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS in Christ Jesus stead, without prejudice, and dissimulation (hypocrisy) on all grounds. Take advantage of the knowledge and understanding received by this writ, to now “HAVE FAITH IN GOD”, in order to be effectual, to do life and live godly by God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS and righteous cause in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH READING AND PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Therefore if ANYONE is IN Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a NEW CREATION [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life] . . . 21 He MADE Christ who knew no sin to [judicially] be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we would BECOME THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of God [that is, we would be MADE ACCEPTABLE to Him and placed in a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with Him by His gracious lovingkindness]” 2 Corinthians 5:17-21/Amplified. 

“Now the next day, when they had come out from Bethany, He was hungry. 13 And seeing from afar a fig tree having leaves, He went to see if perhaps He would find something on it. When He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. 14 In response Jesus said to it, “Let no one eat fruit from you ever again.” And His disciples heard it . . . 20 Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter, remembering, said to Him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree which You cursed has withered away.” 22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart [Human Spirit], but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. 24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, BELIEVE that you receive them, and you will have them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24/NKJV. 

“When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, “Son of David, have mercy on us!” 28 And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, “Do you BELIEVE that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH LET IT BE [BECOME] TO YOU.” 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, “See that no one knows it.” 31 But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31/NKJV. 

“Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY HIS FAITH” Habakkuk 2:4 [Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38]/NKJV. 

“But what does it say? “The WORD is near you, in your mouth and in your heart [spirit-being]” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and BELIEVE in your heart [spirit-being] that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart [spirit-being] one BELIEVES unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever BELIEVES on Him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no DISTINCTION between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is RICH TO ALL who call upon Him. 13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” Romans 10:8-13/NKJV. 

“Now FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. 3 By FAITH we understand that the worlds were framed by THE WORD of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible . . . 6 But without FAITH it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” Hebrews 11:1-3, 6/NKJV. 

“O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH? 3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh? 4 Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain? 5 Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or BY THE HEARING OF FAITH?— 6 just as Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” 7 Therefore know that only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would JUSTIFY the Gentiles by FAITH, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “IN YOU ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED.” 9 So then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham” Galatians 3:1-9/NKJV. 

“But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is MADE unto us wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNES, and sanctification, and redemption: 31 that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” 1 Corinthians 1:30-31. 

“For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; MUCH MORE THEY WHICH RECEIVE ABUNDANCE OF GRACE AND OF THE GIFT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ . . . 21 that as sin hath reigned unto death, EVEN SO MIGHT GRACE REIGN THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS unto ETERNAL LIFE by Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 5:17-21. 

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a ZEAL for God, but NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. 3 For they being IGNORANT of God’s RIGHTEOUSNESS, and seeking to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not SUBMITTED to the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for RIGHTEOUSNESS to everyone who believes. 5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” 6 But THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF FAITH speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ ” (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or “‘Who will descend into the abyss?’” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). 8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one BELIEVES unto RIGHTEOUSNESS, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation . . .” Romans 10:1-13. 

“This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the BLOOD of Jesus Christ his Son CLEANSETH us from ALL sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we DECEIVE ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9. If we CONFESS our sins, he is FAITHFUL and JUST to FORGIVE us our sins, and to CLEANSE us from all UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His WORD is not in us” 1 John 1:5-10. 

Further Scriptural Reading In Context: Romans 4:1-25 

SUMMARY: 

The message emphasises living by God’s righteousness in Christ Jesus through “HAVING FAITH IN GOD”.  

Key points: 

  • God made us righteous in Christ; we must live in righteousness-consciousness (not sin-consciousness). 
  • Righteousness = right standing before God, no shame/guilt in grace. 
  • “HAVE FAITH IN GOD” = trust His definition of righteousness. 
  • Warning against self-righteousness (“filthy rags”) vs. God’s righteousness by faith. 
  • Freedom in Christ can be lost without faith in God’s way. 
  • Be INTENTIONAL/PRAGMATIC about living righteously daily. 

Scriptures highlighted: 

  • 2 Cor 5:21 – Made righteous in Christ. 
  • Rom 14:17 – Righteousness/peace/joy in Holy Spirit. 
  • Rom 10:1-13 – Righteousness by faith in Christ. 
  • Gal 3:1-9 – Faith vs. law for righteousness. 

The message urges living aware of God’s righteousness in Christ vs. falling into sin-consciousness.

MONTH JUNE – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE 

By Leave a Comment

MONTH JUNE – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: TO PREACH AND LIVE THE GOSPEL! 

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with COMPASSION on them, because they FAINTED, and were SCATTERED abroad, as SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD” Matthew 9:35-36 

When you PREACH and LIVE Christ, PREACH and LIVE THE WORD – there would be JOY in the City and in the DESERT of your being. For the GOSPEL is Christ Jesus: which is, that, He came, He was crucified, He died, He was buried, He rose again, for our SIN and SINS. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. This thus mean, whether you ARE in the CITY CHURCH or in the DESERT (VILLAGE) LOCAL CHURCH, you shouldn’t be mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – for it is the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN INNERMOST QUEST – for yesterday, today and tomorrow. Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 13:8; 1 Corinthians 3:10-13; 1 Corinthians 15:1-19. 

“. . . Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them . . . 8 And there was GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, WHICH IS DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship . . . 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Act 8:1-40 

We live today in the times of pandemic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed, persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, hatred and poverty in our worlds. Yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, PROSPERITY, HEALTH, HOPE, FAITH, LOVE – and such like the more – for all the hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances in our world. Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5; Hebrews 2:14-15; Luke 2:68-75. 

The likelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to BLAME or CURSE or ACCUSE or TRANSFER aggressions to others. While some will take advantage of others by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in order to have holds over them in their vulnerability. 

And what people need today in the midst of the current situations, circumstances and challenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in their hearts, families, and communities; much more, they need HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that can WELL them out of THAT life darkness in exchange with the fountains of peace, personal worth, blessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. And it will take a person OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, to make it possible; that’s why you ARE of a great need and demand for today’s challenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all. 2 Corinthians 4:6; Proverbs 4:18; Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19. 

And a person OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH and LIVE CHRIST, PREACH and LIVE THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of personal and or people’s challenges and circumstances; this is the order to trigger the needed JOY and PEACE that the individual, family, community, and nations might need, in times of today’s challenges and changing times. 

In the Apostolic days, all that was needed to bring OVERWHELMING JOY to the City of SAMARIA in the midst of persecution, evils, wickedness, falsehood, sorcery and divining, was to preach Christ, who is – The Living WORD. And the needed JOY came and took hold of the people while evil, hatred, falsehood and satanic cohorts and such likes, were silently KEPT AT BAY as God’s Kingdom and intent of overwhelming Joy advanced to flood in the hearts of the Samaritan City. Acts 8; Philippians 1:15-18. 

I make bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom of God and intent advancing in your life and those around you, PREACH/LIVE CHRIST and PREACH/LIVE THE WORD; Preach Not Sentiments, Not Denomination, Not Self egotism, and more importantly not Religion and not rudiments and traditions of this world. For that will create more conflicts than solving human needs and QUESTS. 

I’ve been emboldened to make known to you that there will be a miracle of change in your life and godly living, because – THERE’S A MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE WORD, when CHRIST is PREACHED. The SALVATION that you, your family and community you care about needs, is in The WORD, which is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Preach it! Live it!! And Joy Overwhelmingly will come!!! AMEN. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For THEREIN is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Romans 1:16-17 

“And Saul was CONSENTING unto his death. And at that time there was a GREAT PERSECUTION against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he made HAVOCK of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING and SEEING the miracles which he did. 7. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY . . . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, WHICH IS DESERT… 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40. 

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5. 

“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath MADE US MEET (QUALIFIED) to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 who hath DELIVERED US from the POWER OF DARKNESS, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:12-14. 

“For God, who commanded the light to shine OUT OF DARKNESS, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” 2 Corinthians 4:6-7. 

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with COMPASSION on them, because they FAINTED, and were SCATTERED abroad, as SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD” Matthew 9:35-36. 

“And THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM shall be PREACHED in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14. 

“Moreover, brethren, I DECLARE UNTO YOU THE GOSPEL WHICH I PREACHED UNTO YOU, WHICH ALSO YE HAVE RECEIVED, AND WHEREIN YE STAND; 2 by which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also RECEIVED, how that CHRIST DIED for our SINS according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time . . . 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye BELIEVED” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. 

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is about OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE to PREACH and LIVE CHRIST, and PREACH and LIVE THE WORD, amidst challenges and darkness in the world. This brings OVERWHELMING JOY, DELIVERANCE, PROSPERITY, HEALTH, HOPE, FAITH, and LOVE to individuals, families, communities, and nations.

LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD

By Leave a Comment

LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD: HAVE MERCY ON US THEY PRAYED

“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, THE FATHER OF MERCIES, and the God of all comfort” 2 Corinthians 1:3. 

In my Book – FAITH IN GOD’S ANOINTED, I have defined MERCY to mean the divine kindness that offsets divine judgement for obvious and non-obvious faults and mistakes, as we do life and godly living in God’s grace. And it is the MERCIES of God that enables one to do life beyond the ordinary and human comprehension with – and in the midst of – all forms of human limitations around us. For in the cause of time in our respective lifestyles, we frail being humans and may have fallen into circumstances or be in state or phase of life that only by divine mercy can we be free from such situation. Just as the Psalms will say that the good and faithful, true and sure God knows our frail and frames, and it is living under the cover of His MERCIES that we can keep up and keep on keeping on. And Apostle Paul knew the importance of living under the MERCIES of God when he wrote to the Corinthians Church about how God’s MERCIES kept him going from fainting, getting discouraged, or losing motivation in this writ: 

“Therefore, since we have this ministry, just as we RECEIVED MERCY [from God, granting us salvation, opportunities, and blessings], we do not FAINT – get discouraged nor lose our motivation” 2 Corinthians 4:1. 

Two blind men seek after Father God’s MERCY in Christ Jesus for them to receive their sight. They followed Him all the way to the house He was visiting – what a determination for God’s MERCY by these two blinds persons. I supposed they might have seen Jesus earlier and He did nothing, probably passed them bye, but they REFUSED to take a NO for an ANSWER, then decided to APPEAL to Him on His nature and character, which speaks of His personality in PRAYERS, by saying only – “HAVE MERCY ON US” Matthew 9:27-31. There wasn’t any special night vigil or special prayer meeting or any obeying or following some of the keys or steps to breakthrough as religion and denomination has taught us to follow in order to ensure one receive the most desired helped from God. All that the two blind men was to do was to BELIEVE on Him who shows MERCY for MERCY, as He’s the Father of all MERCIES. And when they did, against all odds for this blind men, they BECAME what they BELIEVE as it was said – ACCORDINGLY TO YOUR FAITH, BECOME WHAT YOU BELIEVE AND EXPECTED as a consequence of God’s MERCY. 

Today, Jesus is the WORD. And you must come to the reality in knowing that what Jesus would have done for you literally if He was physically present here in humanity is what the WORD is meant to do for you today. Just as the two blind men where specific of what they want on the MERCY of God, they followed Him, meaning the word, and they received their desired answers accordingly. 

I want you to know that there’s nothing stopping you from having and becoming in Christ Jesus what your heart desires and expects. Our Father God of MERCIES is here with us. Just lift your voice to Him and say – “HAVE MERCY ON ME” in all sincerity, in the name of Jesus’ Christ. Amen. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are NOT CONSUMED, because his COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT” Lamentations 3:22. 

“And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, HAVE MERCY ON US. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU. 30 And their EYES were OPENED; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. 31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country” Matthew 9:27-31. 

“. . . 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION. 16 SO THEN IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT WILLETH, NOR OF HIM THAT RUNNETH, BUT OF GOD THAT SHEWETH MERCY. 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth . . . 23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved . . .” Romans 9:1-33 

SUMMARY: 

The message is all about LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD — experiencing God’s kindness and compassion that offsets judgement, enables overcoming limitations, and brings breakthrough. 

Key Points: 

  1. God is the Father of MERCIES (2 Corinthians 1:3) — He shows mercy because of His nature.
  2. Mercy defined: As divine kindness offsetting divine judgement for faults/mistakes in life and godly living (author’s definition in “FAITH IN GOD’S ANOINTED”).
  3. Living under God’s MERCIES: 
    Keeps you going amidst limitations and challenges. 
    Enables doing life beyond the ordinary (2 Corinthians 4:1, Apostle Paul’s example).
    Example: Two Blind Men (Matthew 9:27-31): 
    Sought God’s MERCY → Received sight. 
    No “formula” or “steps” — just appealed to Jesus’ nature (“HAVE MERCY ON US”). 
    BELIEVED → BECAME what they believed (“According to your faith”).
  4. Today: Jesus is the WORD. The Word does for you what Jesus would do if physically present. 

Call to Action: 

Our Father God of MERCIES is here. Just lift your voice to Him and say – “HAVE MERCY ON ME” in all sincerity, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Scriptures: 

  • 2 Corinthians 1:3 (Father of MERCIES) 
  • Lamentations 3:22 (Lord’s mercies don’t fail) 
  • Matthew 9:27-31 (two blind men) 
  • Romans 9:14-18, 23-25 (God shows mercy)

HAVE FAITH IN GOD: DARE TO ACT ON IT ACCORDINGLY! 

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, ACCORDING as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE of FAITH” Romans 12:3. 

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE ACCORDING to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7. 

For you are given THE MEASURE of faith in Christ Jesus – dare to act on it accordingly and become in life and grace. 

God in His grace in Christ Jesus, has ACCORDINGLY dealt to you THE MEASURE of FAITH and THE MEASURE of GRACE to enable you BECOME in Him. Using “THE” measure and not “A” measure as used in Romans 12:3 and Ephesians 4:7, this indicates the leverage. In other words, THE measure of FAITH you need to DEAL measurably with the MOUNTAIN, VALLEY, CROOKED ROAD and ROUGH PLACES you are facing right now or later is readily within you. Dare to BELIEVE and act on it accordingly and then BECOME what you BELIEVE. 

Faith is ACTIVE and not PASSIVE. BELIEVE is Passive and it’s to conceive the WORD for FAITH to act upon. FAITH then is acting on what you BELIEVE of God’s WORD accordingly and correspondingly in CONTEXT to that matter in the grace. 

So, stop seeking the MIRACLE that is already within your reach. For you’ve been GIVEN the enabling GRACE to BECOME ACCORDING to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ Jesus. Amen. 

Faith is the VICTORY to the challenges and circumstances of life that you ARE going through right now, or you may likely go through. All the scriptural requirements are for you to – HAVE FAITH IN GOD! Your testimony is within your reach if you can take God’s word as it is. Your triumph, victory and overcoming are within you in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. 

BE BLESSED. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“But WITHOUT FAITH it is impossible to PLEASE Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a REWARDER of them that DILIGENTLY seek Him” Hebrews 11:6. 

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the VICTORY that overcometh the world, even our FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5. 

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, ACCORDING as God hath DEALT to every man THE MEASURE of FAITH” Romans 12:3. 

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE ACCORDING to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ” Ephesians 4:7. 

“And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, HAVE MERCY ON US. 28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe Ye That I Am Able To Do This? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU” Matthew 9:27-29. 

“And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 and seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find anything thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter forever. And his disciples heard it . . . 20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. 21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away. 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. 23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY UNTO THIS MOUNTAIN, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not DOUBT IN HIS HEART, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall HAVE whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things SOEVER ye desire, when ye pray, BELIEVE that ye RECEIVE them, and ye shall HAVE them” Mark 11:12-14, 20-24. 

“But what saith it? The WORD is nigh thee, even in thy MOUTH, and in thy HEART: that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach; 9 that if thou shalt CONFESS with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt BELIEVE in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the HEART man BELIEVETH unto righteousness; and with the mouth CONFESSION is made unto SALVATION. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever BELIEVETH on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no DIFFERENCE between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that CALL upon him. 13 For WHOSOEVER shall CALL upon the name of the Lord shall be SAVED” Romans 10:8-13. 

“The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, YE HAVE DWELT LONG ENOUGH IN THIS MOUNT: 7 TURN YOU, AND TAKE YOUR JOURNEY, AND GO TO THE MOUNT of the Amorites, and UNTO ALL THE PLACES nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I HAVE SET THE LAND BEFORE YOU: GO IN AND POSSESS THE LAND which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them” Deuteronomy 1:6-8. 

“The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every VALLEY shall be EXALTED, and every MOUNTAIN and HILL shall be made LOW: and the CROOKED shall be made STRAIGHT, and the ROUGH places PLAIN: 5 and the GLORY of the Lord shall be REVEALED, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it” Isaiah 40:3-5. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is talking about HAVING FAITH IN GOD and ACTING on it accordingly to experience victory, breakthrough, and becoming what you believe in life and grace. 

It emphasises that you’ve been given THE MEASURE of faith in Christ Jesus (Romans 12:3, Ephesians 4:7), and this measure is sufficient to deal with any challenge (mountains, valleys, crooked roads, rough places). Faith is active, not passive — it’s acting on what you believe of God’s Word. You’ve been given enabling GRACE to become according to THE MEASURE of the GIFT of Christ Jesus. 

Key points: 

  1. THE measure of FAITH you need is READILY WITHIN YOU. 
  2. Stop seeking miracles; act on the faith you’ve got. 
  3. Dare to BELIEVE and act, then BECOME what you BELIEVE. 
  4. Faith is the VICTORY to life’s challenges.

MONTH JUNE – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE 

By Leave a Comment

MONTH JUNE – OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE: TO PREACH AND LIVE THE GOSPEL! 

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with COMPASSION on them, because they FAINTED, and were SCATTERED abroad, as SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD” Matthew 9:35-36 

When you PREACH and LIVE Christ, PREACH and LIVE THE WORD – there would be JOY in the City and in the DESERT of your being. For the GOSPEL is Christ Jesus: which is, that, He came, He was crucified, He died, He was buried, He rose again, for our SIN and SINS. 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. This thus mean, whether you ARE in the CITY CHURCH or in the DESERT (VILLAGE) LOCAL CHURCH, you shouldn’t be mistaken on the GOSPEL MESSAGE – for it is the POWER and ANSWER to all HUMAN INNERMOST QUEST – for yesterday, today and tomorrow. Romans 1:16-17; Hebrews 13:8; 1 Corinthians 3:10-13; 1 Corinthians 15:1-19. 

“. . . Therefore they that were scattered abroad went every where PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them . . . 8 And there was GREAT JOY IN THAT CITY . . . 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, WHICH IS DESERT. 27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship . . . 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Act 8:1-40 

We live today in the times of pandemic, trials, brutality, bitterness, greed, persecutions, evils, denials, wickedness, hatred and poverty in our worlds. Yet in the midst of all these happenings are God’s abundant provisions of DELIVERANCE, PROSPERITY, HEALTH, HOPE, FAITH, LOVE – and such like the more – for all the hopeless, faithless and loveless challenges and circumstances in our world. Colossians 1:13-14; Galatians 1:3-5; Hebrews 2:14-15; Luke 2:68-75. 

The likelihood of the challenging times today is for most people to BLAME or CURSE or ACCUSE or TRANSFER aggressions to others. While some will take advantage of others by appealing to their emotions, sentiments and fears in order to have holds over them in their vulnerability. 

And what people need today in the midst of the current situations, circumstances and challenges before them is the UNSPEAKABLE and INDESCRIBABLE JOY of the Lord in their hearts, families, and communities; much more, they need HOPE, FAITH and LOVE that can WELL them out of THAT life darkness in exchange with the fountains of peace, personal worth, blessedness, graciousness, gracefulness and dignity. And it will take a person OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE, which is YOU, to make it possible; that’s why you ARE of a great need and demand for today’s challenges and changing times. And your OBEDIENCE is PARAMOUNT to it all. 2 Corinthians 4:6; Proverbs 4:18; Job 36:11; Isaiah 1:19. 

And a person OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE indeed, will do only one thing: PREACH and LIVE CHRIST, PREACH and LIVE THE WORD in the midst of the irrelevancy of personal and or people’s challenges and circumstances; this is the order to trigger the needed JOY and PEACE that the individual, family, community, and nations might need, in times of today’s challenges and changing times. 

In the Apostolic days, all that was needed to bring OVERWHELMING JOY to the City of SAMARIA in the midst of persecution, evils, wickedness, falsehood, sorcery and divining, was to preach Christ, who is – The Living WORD. And the needed JOY came and took hold of the people while evil, hatred, falsehood and satanic cohorts and such likes, were silently KEPT AT BAY as God’s Kingdom and intent of overwhelming Joy advanced to flood in the hearts of the Samaritan City. Acts 8; Philippians 1:15-18. 

I make bold to say that if you must keep your enemy at bay and keep the kingdom of God and intent advancing in your life and those around you, PREACH/LIVE CHRIST and PREACH/LIVE THE WORD; Preach Not Sentiments, Not Denomination, Not Self egotism, and more importantly not Religion and not rudiments and traditions of this world. For that will create more conflicts than solving human needs and QUESTS. 

I’ve been emboldened to make known to you that there will be a miracle of change in your life and godly living, because – THERE’S A MIRACULOUS POWER IN THE WORD, when CHRIST is PREACHED. The SALVATION that you, your family and community you care about needs, is in The WORD, which is the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. Preach it! Live it!! And Joy Overwhelmingly will come!!! AMEN. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“For I am not ASHAMED of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the POWER of God unto SALVATION to EVERYONE THAT BELIEVETH; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For THEREIN is the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH” Romans 1:16-17 

“And Saul was CONSENTING unto his death. And at that time there was a GREAT PERSECUTION against the church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judæa and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation over him. 3 As for Saul, he made HAVOCK of the church, entering into every house, and haling men and women committed them to prison. 4 Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere PREACHING THE WORD. 5 Then Philip went down to the CITY OF SAMARIA, and PREACHED CHRIST unto them. 6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, HEARING and SEEING the miracles which he did. 7. For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed. 8 And there was GREAT JOY in that CITY . . . 25 And they, when they had TESTIFIED and PREACHED THE WORD of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and PREACHED THE GOSPEL in many VILLAGES OF THE SAMARITANS. 26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, WHICH IS DESERT… 27 AND HE AROSE AND WENT: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, 28 was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet . . . 37 And Philip said, If thou BELIEVEST with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD. 38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him . . .” Acts 8:1-40. 

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the WILL of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5. 

“Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath MADE US MEET (QUALIFIED) to be PARTAKERS of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 who hath DELIVERED US from the POWER OF DARKNESS, and hath TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:12-14. 

“For God, who commanded the light to shine OUT OF DARKNESS, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” 2 Corinthians 4:6-7. 

“And Jesus went about all the CITIES and VILLAGES, TEACHING in their synagogues, and PREACHING THE GOSPEL of the kingdom, and HEALING every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with COMPASSION on them, because they FAINTED, and were SCATTERED abroad, as SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD” Matthew 9:35-36. 

“And THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM shall be PREACHED in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come” Matthew 24:14. 

“Moreover, brethren, I DECLARE UNTO YOU THE GOSPEL WHICH I PREACHED UNTO YOU, WHICH ALSO YE HAVE RECEIVED, AND WHEREIN YE STAND; 2 by which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I PREACHED unto you, unless ye have BELIEVED in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also RECEIVED, how that CHRIST DIED for our SINS according to the scriptures; 4 and that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE again the third day according to the scriptures: 5 and that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 after that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time . . . 11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we PREACH, and so ye BELIEVED” 1 Corinthians 15:1-11. 

“And without CONTROVERSY great is the mystery of godliness: God was MANIFEST in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, PREACHED unto the Gentiles, BELIEVED on in the world, RECEIVED up into glory” 1 Timothy 3:16. 

SUMMARY: 

The message is about OBEYING THE HEAVENLY MANDATE to PREACH and LIVE CHRIST, and PREACH and LIVE THE WORD, amidst challenges and darkness in the world. This brings OVERWHELMING JOY, DELIVERANCE, PROSPERITY, HEALTH, HOPE, FAITH, and LOVE to individuals, families, communities, and nations.

LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD! 

By Leave a Comment

LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD! 

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are NOT CONSUMED, because his COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT” Lamentations 3:22. 

The MERCY of God means the divine kindness that offsets divine judgment for obvious and non-obvious faults and mistakes in the course of LIFE, (DOING LIFE) and GRACE (GODLY LIVING). It is the MERCIES of God that enables one to do life beyond the ordinary and human comprehension in the course of time, in the phases of the divine PURPOSE on our lives, we are frail, being humans; and as the Psalms declare, the Lord knows our frailty and frames. It is by living under the cover of His MERCIES that we can keep on keeping on without fainting, being weary, or burnt out by the challenging times we face each passing day and moment, as it is written: 

“Just as a father loves his children, So the Lord LOVES those who FEAR and WORSHIP Him [with AWE-FILLED RESPECT and DEEPEST REVERENCE]. 14 For He knows our [MORTAL] FRAME; He remembers that we are [merely] dust” Psalms 103:13-14 Amplified. 

Apostle Paul knew and understood to avail himself of the MERCIES of God in such a way as to receive the enabling to live the fulfilled life he laboured to attain in his ministry, in LIFE and GRACE, and in order not to faint, give up, go weary, or be burnt out, as it is written: 

“Therefore seeing we have this MINISTRY, as we have RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT” 2 Corinthians 4:1. 

IT IS MY EARNEST PRAYER today, that IN THIS MONTH JUNE, you envelope yourself in LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD, so that you will not FAINT, GIVE UP, BE BURNT OUT, OR GROW WEARY as you do LIFE and godly living in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, THE FATHER OF MERCIES, and the God of all comfort” 2 Corinthians 1:3. 

“I BESEECH you therefore, brethren, BY THE MERCIES of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” Romans 12:1. 

“Therefore seeing we have THIS MINISTRY, as we have RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT’ 2 Corinthians 4:1. 

“Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, BOWELS OF MERCIES, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering” Colossians 3:12. 

“Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are SANCTIFIED by God the Father, and PRESERVED in Jesus Christ, and CALLED: 2 MERCY unto you, and peace, and love, BE MULTIPLIED” Jude 1:1-2. 

“It is of the Lord’s MERCIES that we are NOT CONSUMED, because his COMPASSIONS FAIL NOT” Lamentations 3:22. 

“. . . 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION. 16 SO THEN IT IS NOT OF HIM THAT WILLETH, NOR OF HIM THAT RUNNETH, BUT OF GOD THAT SHEWETH MERCY. 17 For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. 18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth . . . 23 and that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, 24 even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25. As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved . . .” Romans 9:1-33. 

SUMMARY: 

the message is a charge for believers to stop surviving by strength and start LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD. Only His MERCY can cover our frailty and keep us from fainting, burning out, or being consumed as we do LIFE and GODLY LIVING.

  2. MERCY ENABLES BEYOND HUMAN LIMITS
    The MERCIES of God enable one to live beyond the ordinary and human comprehension. in the course of time, in the phases of divine PURPOSE on our lives, we are frail, being human. God knows our frailty and frames. Psalms 103:13-14. Under the cover of His MERCIES, we can keep on keeping on without fainting, being weary, or burnt out by daily challenges.
  3. PAUL’S EXAMPLE: RECEIVE MERCY, FAINT NOT
    Apostle Paul knew how to avail himself of the MERCIES of God. That enabling helped him live the fulfilled life he laboured to attain in ministry, in LIFE and GRACE, and not faint, give up, grow weary, or be burnt out. “Seeing we have this MINISTRY, as we have RECEIVED MERCY, WE FAINT NOT” 2 Corinthians 4:1.

MERCY is multiplied to those SANCTIFIED, PRESERVED, and CALLED in Christ Jesus. Jude 1:1-2.
  5. MERCY IS OF GOD, NOT HUMAN EFFORT
    Salvation and preservation are not by human will or striving, but OF GOD THAT SHEWETH MERCY. Romans 9:15-16, 23-24. He has mercy on whom He will have mercy, making known the riches of His glory on vessels of mercy prepared for glory.

CALL TO ACTION 

LET ALL BELIEVERS ENVELOPE THEMSELVES IN LIVING ON THE MERCY OF GOD, that NONE SHALL FAINT, GIVE UP, BE BURNT OUT, OR GROW WEARY as they engage LIFE and godly living in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen.
